If you are in the Real Estate industry and heard about Blockchain for the first time, I bet your thoughts went to the moon.

As a matter of fact, all the processes contained in a real estate transaction or business model can be happening on the Blockchain. But wait, do not rush!

Adoption

It is not a matter of Technology. It is a Legal matter

As a Real Estate person, I can formally say it is not a piece of cake, as many folks around the Blockchain space may think. In my opinion, in order to succeed, don’t try to get around it. First, you may try to adapt.

Adoption is not only a matter of technology. It is a legal matter from all points of view. That is particularly the case with Real Estate, more than other real assets.

Better to Disrupt than be Disrupted

The Hyped List

I can list here several teams trying to put together their concepts around Real Estate assets, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and even ICOs. I’ve been watching, and I don’t think, at the moment, there’s a single company able to comply with all the To Do list in order to succeed.
